"Memoryof him perishesfrom the earth,And he has nonameabroad.
"Your memorablesayingsare proverbsof ashes,Your defensesare defensesof clay.
"A motherwill forgethim; The wormfeedssweetlytill he is nolongerremembered.And wickednesswill be brokenlike a tree.
Let his posteritybe cutoff;In a followinggenerationlet their namebe blottedout.
Let them be beforethe LORDcontinually,That He may cutofftheir memoryfrom the earth;
The faceof the LORDis against evildoers,To cutoffthe memoryof them from the earth.
My enemiesspeakevilagainst me, "Whenwill he die,and his nameperish?"
They have said,"Come,and let us wipethem out as a nation,That the nameof Israelbe rememberednomore."
The enemyhas cometo an endin perpetualruins,And You have uprootedthe cities;The verymemoryof them has perished.
The memoryof the righteousis blessed,But the nameof the wickedwill rot.
But the wickedwill be cutofffrom the landAnd the treacherouswill be uprootedfrom it.
"You will not be unitedwith them in burial,Becauseyou have ruinedyour country,You have slainyour people.May the offspringof evildoersnot be mentionedforever.
The deadwill not live,the departedspiritswill not rise;ThereforeYou have punishedand destroyedthem, And You have wipedout allremembranceof them.
The LORDhas issueda commandconcerningyou: "Your namewill nolongerbe perpetuated.I will cutoffidoland imageFrom the houseof your gods.I will prepareyour grave,For you are contemptible."
